Tiring but fulfilling Saturday :-)
(Monday, July 13, 2009/12:39 AM)
Whew... It was really exhausting on Saturday! But I'm glad to have stepped out to perform so many tasks for God in just one day. =) Leading praise was abit haywire cos' Kenneth and I didn't rehearse adequately before CGM started, but all in all, it was a great experience!
First time serving choir in Expo too... Had been quite sometime since I last stood on the stage (since Emerge '07)... It was comforting to have Victor and Royston around me, rather than awkwardly attempting to interact with overzealous strangers in the JW service. (T.T)
And lastly, I'm glad I could help out in soundOUT! Although I didn't take centerstage as a singer, Bro Darren's message of unspectacular talents reminded me to stay faithful in the little things I was doing. As long as God sees, I'll be contented! =D
Well, onto some rants... It's kinda irksome to observe some individuals taking church for granted. They're the last ones to arrive for service/CGM, probably first ones to leave, don't bother to lift a finger to help out, stick to their own cliques and ignore the rest.
Are they divas, VIPs or what!? Seems like they're attending church just for the fun factor and convenient social networking. If that's their intentions, just log on to Facebook la. There's so many fun apps and games. Why bother coming to church?
I know I should serve with a pure heart without prejudice, but I just subconsciously get this feeling when my comrades and I were busy helping out in soundOUT and some people were outside the room, relaxing and chilling out. They're not exactly young Christians as well, so I believe they should know the meaning of servanthood. It's a slap to the face to those of us who treat coming to church seriously, which involves commitment, dedication and devotion to our one God.
If they have absolutely nothing to help out with, at least go around show some concern for those who are slogging hard la! Is showing appreciation to everyone who made all the events successful that hard!? Pfft... (Some of u might get a hint of whom I'm talking about... Might not sit well with u guys, but u guys know my style... I'm a straightforward kinda person... That, I can't change, but at least I won't mention names...)
Just some updates on my online spree shopping!
Online sprees are great. Not only can u get unique fashion which is not readily available in Singapore, it's also rather affordable even after including shipping fees. But now I understand the other side of the coin. 2 sprees I was participating in were cancelled cos' the suppliers are sleeping and failed to contact the spree owner. =(
So, I had to 'transfer' my funds to another spree. But it's all good, cos' I realized I was intending to buy too many t-shirts of similar style. =P Given this 2nd chance to re-pick my stuff, I made sure I sift out something that is unique.
It's only one-piece! Under SG's hot weather, u can't normally wear a singlet, a shirt AND a jacket. U'll just melt to death. =.= But as a one-piece, it gives a neat 'illusion' while maintaining the style. I just hope it fits! =P
Same for this! I hope I can pull off the cardigan style well...
